shared_future() noexcept; | (1) |
shared_future( std::experimental::shared_future<T>&& f ) noexcept; | (2) |
shared_future( const std::experimental::shared_future<T>& f ); | (3) |

1) Default constructor. Constructs an empty `shared_future` object that does not refer to a shared state.
2) Constructs a `shared_future` object, transferring the shared state held by f, if any. After construction, f.valid() is false.
3) Constructs a shared future that refers to the same shared state as f, if any.
4) Unwrapping constructor. Constructs a `shared_future` object from the shared state referred to by other, if any. If other.valid() == false prior to this call, the constructed `shared_future` object is empty. Otherwise, the resulting `shared_future` object becomes ready when one of the following happens:

- other and other.get() are both ready. The value or exception from other.get() is stored in the shared state associated with the resulting `shared_future` object.
- other is ready, but other.get() is invalid. An exception of type std::future_error with an error condition of std::future_errc::broken_promise is stored in the shared state associated with the resulting `shared_future` object.

After this constructor returns, valid() is equal to the value of other.valid() prior to this call, and other.valid() == false.
5) Constructs a `shared_future` object, transferring the shared state held by f, if any. After construction, f.valid() is false.
